You've probably heard: OS X 10.5 (Leopard) runs Java exceptionally  

slowly if at all.  This is because they've turned off OpenGL hardware  

acceleration (or what little of it they had in 10.4).  I've been told  

that a number of Java simulation environments, such as Processing,  

are having difficulty.  I have not tested MASON under Leopard and  

cannot verify that it will run well or not.  But given Leopard's  

serious Java problems, you may wish delaying any upgrade until a  

later version (10.5.1, perhaps).
